Lyon had a good Australia A tour under his belt though and, more importantly, was a much better bowler for the conditions than Zampa will be.

England Lions are playing a few matches here next month #zampatoshine

i don't necessarily think zampa or boyce should tour, but they've clearly gone off Beer, he's not even the first choice leftie anymore. he went from playing a test match to not being good enough to play for australia a in the space of like 3 months. it wouldn't surprise me to see them look elsewhere for that back-up spinner and well the two leggies seem the obvious direction.

just on lyon and the growing chat about him, given he got into the team more on bowling a certain style rather than wickets, surely all he has to do to keep his spot is to bowl that style. (which he hasn't been doing)
